HG Alternative: Can’t find 80-calorie light buns? Just get the lowest-calorie buns you see, and adjust the calorie count accordingly.

HG FYI: While our recipe has less than half the amount of sodium as the average Chicago dog, we recognize it's still pretty high in sodium. If you want to reduce the salt content, use only half of a pickle spear or skip it altogether.

FIGHT IT!
Chicago Dog, Average

City of Big Calorie Counts...
Facts are facts: Hot dogs are FUN, and people love them. They're handheld and full of flavor, plus they're often associated with good times -- summer, cookouts, baseball games, etc. Chicago dogs are super-special, thanks to a creative combo of toppings including yellow mustard, white onion, sweet relish, dill pickle, and tomato slices. And since none of these toppings are particularly fattening, you might assume that a Chicago dog is reasonably guilt-free. Guess again! Most frankfurters themselves have far more fat and calories than you might suspect... and those long doughy buns certainly don't help! We recruited our favorite low-cal basics, and then loaded 'em up with all the crazy extras. The results are totally tasty and TOTALLY impressive in the nutritional department. Get ready for the DOG days of summer...
